Nimes

A **feat of ancient engineering**, the Arena of Nîmes is one of the best-preserved amphitheaters – it dates back to 100 AD, just a few years after the Romans built the Colosseum. 

Of the 300 still-standing Roman amphitheaters, this is one of the biggest. At the peak of the Roman Empire, up to 24,000 people would gather to watch gladiator battles and animal hunts at _Les Arènes de Nîmes_, or the Nîmes Arena.

The Romans – architecture connoisseurs as they were – would be impressed by the Musée de la Romanité in Nîmes, designed to look like it's wrapped in a toga.

They would also admire the fact we managed to look after their treasures and trinkets for so long. As many as 5,000 of them, dating from as far back as 700 BC, are on display in this state-of-the-art museum. Mosaics, statues, frescoes and more, complemented by interactive displays, projectors and touchscreens. Immerse yourself in history!
